Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

People enjoyed attending the concert in the park.
Luden [163]

Answer:

w = 238

Step-by-step explanation:

So create a system of equations if the number of m = 2w where the men's number is twice the women's number.  and m + w = 714 so substitute 2w for m

2w + w = 714 so 3w = 714, divide both sides by 3, you get w = 238

Find the value of x explain how you got your answer ​
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

step 1: x+50+4x=90

the angle of a right-angled triangle is 90 degrees, therefore if we add everything together ,we could work out what x is.

step 2: x+50+4x=90

                  x+4x=50

                      5x=50

                        x=10

then you solve the equation, x is 10
